    I've stood where this camera is many times and... the sounds in that place are just fantastic. The sound from the furnace changes like a movement of a symphony of thousands of lightning bolts hitting a thousand tympani per second. It vibrates the body.

    I always wondered how they got rid of all the other crap that's in cars like glass, foam, plastic etc.
    I learned they shred the car and magnetically get the steel out and the non magnetic metals are fed out into another stream called zorba, and the rest of it is auto shreader residue.
    I used to think they just threw the car in the furnace and all the crap floated to the top.

    I used to haul scrap into the steel mills and it always was so great to watch them melt it down. Steel mills are either freezing cold or hotter than hell

    I love metal because it always exists, just keep melting and reforming, we should never run out of it.

      True as a welder if i accidentally burn a hole just add more metal until it fills back up

    How about just a bit of dialogue? I mean, maybe tell us something? We came here to be educated. Great effort with the filming but just maybe explain what is happening and why?

      Scrap is screened for radioactives in the yard. It's crudely dumped in a furnace lined with refractory bricks and water cooling pipes. Lid closes and two carbon telephone pole-sized electrodes are dipped in there. Flip the power on and all hell breaks loose. After a ...seems like it's liquidy in about 20 minutes. They might add more scrap as it melts down. A guy lookin' like an astronaut uses a long stick to retrieve a sample for the lab to check chemistry. Rust and impurities float and are separated while draining the furnace into another giant container called a ladle. HUGE and MASSIVE bowl. Metals are added for the right grade of steel. Then it's pressed into billets like a pasta maker. Giant square bars of steel. That is further recycled to stuff like rebar for low grade steel. Rebar is often straight from the recycling plant. The billets might also go to another specialty steel manufacturer who makes galvanized or other steel products. A steel mill is a dirty loud and dangerous job but I would take it for the awesome sound alone. And the pay used to be awesome.

    OK, fine...Without the dialogue, how is everything separated, impurities and slag blown out in preparation for the raw iron ingots to be melted and mixed with the remaining components to make new steel?

      See my comments. Also this vid shows a newish melt shop (the floor with the furnace and all the melting fun). ruclips.net/video/8J3bMtX9Wqo/видео.html When those oak-tree-trunk-sized carbon electrodes are spent -- and they get shorter like used pencils -- they merely wrap a chain around it and pull it out like a thorn then crane it to a cement area on that same floor and lay it down. like you'd fish something from a tree with your fishing rod. It's so hot it eventually breaks down the cement.

      steel is recycled through electric furnace, the one I've visited was about 60 MW power and 6/7 cubic meters of steel volume production

      Doesn't seem like you're supposed to have a comprehensive understanding after watching this video. It's more of a visual and audio experience supplied by the act of recycling metal. Canada in the 90's
